Clark Lindsey (whose domain forwarding is still on the fritz) has a roundup on them, including that well-known one in Sheboygan, WI.
Under Attack
Sorry, Blogspotters, but for now I’m going to have to ban any URL from blogspot.com, until they can get the spam situation under control. I’ve gotten dozens of comment spams today from various blogspot sites advertising poker, car rentals, golf equipment, etc. I’ve notified blogspot, and forwarded them the spam for each suspect subdomain, but have received no response from them. I don’t have time to fend off these attacks, which come from different IPs each time.
If I were a Blogspot user, I’d be pressuring them to do something about these spam sites, because it’s only going to punish the legitimate users as more of us are forced to take the same drastic action that I have today.
[Update at 3:30 PM EST]
This is going to be a tough problem for them to solve. The deal is that these scumbags are going in, setting up a blogspot blog with a bunch of nonsense text full of keywords, and the link to the real spammer site. I looked at a couple of the ones that hit me today, and they’d been set up today, with a single blog post. Once set up, they obviously go out and start spamming blogs like mine.
I don’t know how it would be possible for blogspot to do anything about these cretins preemptively, except to institute more stringent registration procedures.
Moore’s Law Marches On
A new semi-conductor compound from Intel:
Intel says that replacing silicon with indium antimonide cuts power consumption by ten times while boosting performance by 50 per cent.
New chips employing it are still a decade off, though.

Their (Not So) Secret Dream
A Middle East without Israel. At the UN.
I hope that John Bolton has something to say about this.
No Thanks
No matter how much the media and the glitteratti want me to, I simply cannot muster up the will to even contemplate, let alone actually drag my weary carcass to a movie theatre, to watch a love story about gay cowboys.
I guess that makes me a homophobe.
Just who is the demo for this flick?
Big News
I know that those of you who’ve been getting all of your Iraq news from the MSM will find this shocking, but there is political progress there. I’m actually shocked that the WaPo finally finds it newsworthy.
Hey, When In Rome
I occasionally get grief for my World War II comparisons and satires, but now the DNC is doing it:
“Today, as we reflect on that victory, it is hard to ignore the stark contrast between President Roosevelt
An Archeological Find
Several historians and archaeologists interviewed about the find said they did not have enough information to compare its significance with other discoveries in Lower Manhattan. In 1979, the walls of the Lovelace Tavern, which was built in 1670, were found during excavation for the building at 85 Broad Street that now serves as the headquarters of Goldman Sachs. And in 1991, digging for a federal building a block north of City Hall turned up the African Burial Ground that dates from the early 1700’s. In both cases, at least some of the remains were preserved.
A battery wall appears on maps from the 1760’s, but some archaeologists said they have a hunch that this wall may predate that one by as much as 60 years. Some say the discovery of the coin near the base dates it to at least the 1740’s. There is no way to tell for sure exactly how old the wall is, but the archaeologists want to study the material in and around it.
And it’s holding up subway construction…
